We're in the Hospital!

So, as expected, the totally unexpected has happened. We went in for a "non-stress test" since Bri was 6 days over and they said that the heart rate tracing was "Non-reassuring." That is basically a Doctor's CYA term for "We think you should have the baby now." It was difficult for Bri since she was dead set on not having any interventions at all. After 45 minutes of discussion with the midwife we decided that we would go ahead with a mild induction so that Bri would get the chance to do as much as possible on her own and not have to get an epidural. She was just most worried about having things snowball into a mass of interventions.

However, as of right now, Bri is sitting in her bed looking stunning in her pink hospital gown typing up her blog. What an amazing woman, she's having contractions (called "birthing waves" in our classes) and just typing away. It is now totally verified, my wife is as big of a tech nerd as I am! And she thought she was a tree-hugger when we got married...

So, expect a lot of posts over the next 24 hours as we keep everything up to date here. I'll try to put up pictures and updates as often as I can.
